Zhang Zongde reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper. He looked up at the village chief and said, "Let's hurry up and call Lao San."
This matter is too big and too serious; their resources are limited.
In case they are unable to help Fang Yan with their own strength.
We mustn't let this delay us; we need to contact the third brother right away.
Fortunately, he had specifically brought out Zhang Jizhou's number from the military before leaving home.
Previously, Zhang Zongde was in favor of not contacting Zhang Jizhou unless necessary, so as not to distract him from family matters while he was away.
However, Fang Yan's arrest was a very serious matter, and Zhang Zongde was not sure if he could resolve it. He had to call Zhang Jizhou.
The village chief drove Zhang Zongde to the place where they often held meetings. "Xiao Huang, we have an urgent matter here. Could we borrow the office phone for a moment?"
Because this office is quite far from the police station, it only takes three minutes to get here by bike.
Moreover, the village chief and Zhang Zongde would come here for meetings every few days, and they were quite familiar with the staff here.
Sure enough, after the village chief briefly explained Fang Yan's situation, Xiao Huang quickly led them to the landline and thoughtfully asked, "Do you need me to dial the number for you?"
Telephones only started being available in the county town last year, and some people still don't know how to dial a number.
"I will, I will press it," the village chief said.
Xiao Huang then went about his own business.
When he left, he didn't close the office door.
Zhang Zongde was very lucky; Zhang Jizhou happened to be in the communications room when the call connected.
When the young soldier heard that it was for him, he quickly handed him the phone. "Captain, this is your phone."
"Whose is it?" As he took the phone, a sense of anticipation suddenly rose in Zhang Jizhou's heart. Could it be Fang Yan's?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, his movements quickened considerably.
However, when the microphone was placed to her ear and she heard the male voice coming from the other end, the glimmer of expectation that had just risen in her heart was extinguished with a "whoosh" by a sudden gust of wind, like a flickering candle flame.
Zhang Jizhou quickly composed himself, "Uncle?"
He recognized the voice; it was Zhang Zongde's.
"Third brother, something happened to your wife..." Zhang Zongde didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point, relaying everything he had heard from his eldest daughter-in-law. "The village chief and I were thinking of going to check with your wife first."
"Who knew that when we went to the police station, they said that my wife was an important prisoner and that visits were not allowed. I felt that this was very abnormal."
From the moment Zhang Zongde uttered his first word, Zhang Jizhou felt that the whole thing was very abnormal.
He had glimpsed Fang Yan cooking a few times; she was a very clean and particular person.
They are very meticulous about food, and everything is thoroughly cleaned before cooking.
Even a tiny leaf of vegetable will be checked repeatedly to make sure it's been washed clean.
She cleaned each ingredient so thoroughly, how could the food she cooked possibly cause someone's death?
Don't talk to him about poisoning.
Although he hadn't learned much about her, Zhang Jizhou could tell from their less than one day together that Fang Yan was a smart person.
If she has a brain, why would she do something so mindless?
Zhang Jizhou believed that the problem wasn't with the braised meat Fang Yan made, but rather...
"Uncle, is her business getting better and better?"
"I guess so? During this festival, she also sold four or five buckets of braised meat. Her braised meat tastes really good and is very delicious. I buy all my food from her."
Zhang Zongde never actually asked Fang Yan about business matters; he could only speak based on what he had seen.
Fang Yanyan used to stay in the Zhang family, never leaving the house. She was introverted and timid. Even when she was bullied by Zhang Laowu and his gang, she would only brood and get sick, but she never thought of fighting back.
Therefore, it's impossible for her to have any grudges against anyone.
Fang Yan had only been here a short time, and she was quite good at socializing, intelligent, kind-hearted, and generous in helping others. It was impossible for her to have any enemies.
Therefore, Zhang Jizhou's preliminary analysis led to the conclusion that it was the methods of his peers.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll call someone I know and ask them for help."
Having temporarily clarified the situation, Zhang Jizhou was anxious and worried about Fang Yan's condition inside, so he thought he should quickly call someone he knew at the police station.
Fortunately, during the last mission to arrest the venomous snake, the local police station and the brigade cooperated, and he also met two people he got along with.
One of them was from the police station, and the other was from the corps.
The column is the superior department of the police station.
Zhang Jizhou began remotely rescuing his wife and children...
Fang Yan waited and waited inside, but Zhang Zongde never came to visit her.
She began to have a bad feeling; it was very likely that her visitation rights had been restricted.
Otherwise, after she's been missing for so long, Sister-in-law Zhang and Uncle Niu would definitely have gone looking for her.
If they go to the market to look for her, they will definitely find out that something happened to her.
Sister-in-law Zhang and Uncle Niu will definitely rush back to the village as soon as possible to find Zhang Zongde and the village chief.
The village chief has a bicycle; it takes him less than half an hour to ride to the county town.
And it's been almost two hours already, hasn't it?
Since she couldn't buy a watch today, Fang Yan could only estimate the time herself.
Since no one has come to see her for so long, there is only one possibility: someone is preventing her from meeting with people outside.
This is it, we're doomed!
Fang Yan started to get anxious. From the uncle causing trouble at the stall to just now, the reason she was so calm was...
That's because she originally planned to tell Zhang Zongde and the others when they came to visit her, and then she would tell them which witnesses and evidence she needed to find to overturn her case.
They can't get in, and she can't get out. The two sides can't communicate with each other. What are they going to do now?
Suddenly, Qibei, who was lying on the ground, stood up with a "whoosh" and looked at the door warily.
Fang Yan also temporarily put aside her thoughts, which she hadn't yet figured out, and instinctively hugged herself tightly, looking towards the door.
Sure enough, the door was pushed open from the outside the next second, revealing Fang Yaojin's dark and repulsive face.
Just as his left foot stepped into the room, Fang Yaojin's face suddenly broke into a smug, triumphant smile. "Well? You know now, don't you?"
His smile, besides smugness, also concealed a hint of ruthlessness, causing Fang Yan to become secretly more wary. "What?"
